VEX Builds 4th Grade

Sunday, January 29, 2017

The 4th Grade Robotics and Engineering Challenge for this Spring is the constructing a crossbow and target practice. The challenge will be hunting a few animal figures. The students will have to aim from a set of predetermined distances to determine which would be the optimal distance for hitting the target.

Week 2-- We are a few steps closer to testing the crossbow kits.

Week 3--We had everyone back on our TEAMS this week. We love when everyone is here to share in the fun and learning.

Week 4--Team 1 achieved a successful completion of their progress. They are now testing the range of launch. Team 2 needs to mesh as a team and finish their project. They have the potential to be successful too.

Week 5--This week proved to be very time consuming. The entire class worked together to improve the design and construction of Team 2's crossbow. We also had several classmates out.

Week 6 & 7--Students combined efforts to help Team 2!

Week 8-- Positive Progress! We need these crossbows for Robotics and Engineering Day!!!

Weeks 9-12 were spent improving the robot design, testing the robot and completing any last minute additions.

April 12, 2017---The day that we have all been waiting for. The robots are ready to compete and the students are anxiously awaiting the performance that will result from weeks of work.
